Biography:
Thunder is a five-piece melodic hard rock band from the United Kingdom that formed in 1989, after singer Danny Bowes, guitarist Luke Morley, and drummer Gary "Harry" James left the group Terraplane. Soon joined by bassist Mark "Snake" Luckhurst and guitarist Ben Matthews, Thunder's first album, 1990's Backstreet Symphony, earned commercial and critical acclaim. The guys followed it with a well-received 'Monsters of Rock' festival performance that year.

PREACHING FROM A CHAIR - Thunder
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Kengus
Standard tuning
INTRO Am D Am G x2
VERSE1
Am Am7/G
I'm sorry I don't hate the world
F (G)
I'm afraid that I'm not disturbed
Am Am7/G D/F# Am/F#
I'm sorry that I don't do drugs, I hope you understand
Am Am7/G
I can't talk about my life in hell
F (G)
Or a suicide attempt that didn't go well
Am Am7/G D/F# Am/F#
No life of crime, no misery, what you see is what you get
PRE-CHORUS
C D
And I don't believe in dwelling on the darker side
Dm G Am
Cos there's enough bad news on the television every night
C D
So I don't need some little punk who's the latest star
Dm G
Telling me over and over again
Dm E7
Life's such a drag when you're in a band
CHORUS
Am G F C
What is it coming to when everyone's talking through their hat
Gsus4 G E7/G#
And we've heard it all before
Am G D/F# D7/F#
What happened to honesty? The way that it looks to me
Dm G
Is everybody's in it trying to get somewhere
Dm E7
And trying to justify it, preaching from a chair
INTRO (half)
VERSE2 (same chords as above)
Please forgive me if the clothes ain't right
I wouldn't want you hanging with an uncool guy
No flannel shirt and no tattoos, maybe I should grow a beard?
Don't you tell me what I oughta think
Which cigarettes to smoke, and what I oughta drink
Don't judge me by the way I look cos the clothes don't make the man
PRE-CHORUS (same chords as above)
I'm not about to be a slave to a book of rules
Don't wanna spend my life trying to be somebody else
And I'd be wrong to believe in every word that I ever read
You can't fool all the people all of the time
And one man's opinion's another man's lie
CHORUS
The makers of taste will be patronising you and me forever
And it's always been the same
You'll enter the twilight zone if you don't keep your mind your own
I shouldn't let it get to me but I don't care
I can't stomach bullshit, when it's preaching from a chair
(SOLO)

F G F G Am G/B Am
VERSE3 (same chords as above)
I'm sorry that I like the sun
I'm sorry to say I don't wanna own a gun
Cos if my number's up well that's alright, sometime we all got to go
So many versions of the world outside
Reality is getting hard to find
So many people with an axe to grind
It's hard to know who to believe
PRE-CHORUS
C D
Don't lecture me, until you know what the truth is
Dm G Am
Well take a good look inside before you criticise everyone else
C D
Your jealousy ain't enough of a reason, babe
Dm G
To justify telling me where I went wrong
Dm G
So don't try to do it
Dm G
Cos all you ever do is sing the same old song
Dm E7
And no one wants to hear
Preaching from a chair
OUTRO (= intro + solo, fadeout)
